Cupressus sempervirens is generally known for its sedative and anti-infectious properties.  Using cypress in a diffuser while you sleep may be calming and help to alleviate nasal congestion.  The oil is mostly used for massage blends to help stimulate circulation and reduce signs of cellulite.  It can also be used as an inhalant for asthma and bronchitis, and as an astringent to treat oily hair and skin, and sweaty palms.  The fragrance is comforting and aids in smoothing transitions, especially the loss of loved ones, or ending of relationships. The sharp, clear, woody, fresh and slightly spicy aroma of cypress essential oil blends well with Juniper, Lavender, Pine and Sandalwood.
